I began with a piece of MDF which I primed with a couple of coats of acrylic gesso . I then sketched in the composition using charcoal. I used conte crayon for finer detail and soft chalks to soften and blend large areas like the sky. At other times I used gouache in certain passages, e.g. a lot of the background , but overlaid it in places with chalk.

I have just rescued a picture entitled "Horse and Cart" and it is signed john Glover. It is done in shades of orange. Is this an early picture of yours?
Dear Anonymous,
I vaguely remember doing an etching of this subject (or even possibly a lithograph) whilst at Glasgow School of Art. If you were able to e-mail me a photograph of the work, I would certainly be able to identify whether it is indeed by me.
